How silly a button to call 911.

had punter peugoet 807 driving down road doing nothing
gets a voice

"emergency services, please clear the line"

its daft how often do you ring 911 any way?

[GastonJ]

I never ring 911, though I knew someone who had a 1973 version though.

Can be done, the daft bloke put it on ebay with it drilled out.

listed as "mate got paid out". Some silly price it sold for.

see with own eyes before and after, amazing job, not long after
just to make sure it was converted to "tree shape"

Keep your loan payments up to date otherwise you get switched off

You forgot smart motorways. Make sure you pay your invoice when you pass the speed limit. Thin end of the wedge to having payg motorways, one of Dave Camerons old favourites. Sell major roads to private companies and charge for use.

Goes both ways faston, some of us cycle on stolen bike 6 days a week and do 1500-2000 miles max per year

[GastonJ]

Yes but the majority of cyclists I see don't ride on the roads, and even when they do ride the wrong way down one way streets, usually with no lights at night, ride through red lights and undertake lorries and buses then wonder why they end up as a new red mark on the road or as red paint under a bus or lorry.

Gadton, friend of my sister, not sure which order, if lorry first or girl first, but lorry didnt
have his trafficator up, at traffic kight, then hung left, she and her bike both not repaiable
deemed lorry drivers fault.

uk govment "invested" £8MILLION, thats a lot, turn that into seconds, what yearcwould it be?

on driverless trucks, yet EVERYBODY says no.

can see the logic where on motirway, once at speed the lead takes over, but
as we know old people will find a way to get in the way

There is talk of having 1 driver for 3 trucks, great 3 times the carnage when there's an accident. They do have a haulage system that needs 1 driver for a large number of containers, it's called a train and it's a lot effing safer then trying to use untested technology on the safest roads in the UK. What's needed is investment in a decent infrastructure to move containers from docks on trains to cover long distances up the spine of the UK to drop-off points for trucks to pick them up and deliver locally. That way the roads will be clearer, there will be less pollution, less traffic and much safer. However that would take a government with vision beyond it's own self interest and egotistical vanity projects like HS2. So won't happen, instead the public will be put at risk by running 3 trucks at a time on the motorways.

So if one of the trucks has a "euro car parts" cambelt which snapps at 70mph
with no warning, then what happens
